UNSPSC 50593223: Dried Non GMO excel corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO excel corn that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50593223 Dried Non GMO excel corn is a Commodity code that captures dried corn and related grain products for use in institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and public agency meal preparation. State and local governments procure dried corn primarily as a bulk ingredient component for school breakfast and lunch programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities, often bundled within larger grocery or food-supply contracts that span multiple commodity line items. School districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county social services departments are the primary issuing bodies, frequently combining dried grain purchases with fresh produce, frozen goods, proteins, and condiments in comprehensive food service RFQs and IFBs that enforce Buy American provisions (typically a 51 percent domestic agricultural content minimum) and compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and USDA Title VII regulations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and spans multiple issuing-body types. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line-item grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department in an IFB (BNB052266) with an electronic deadline of June 30, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and blind testing by school personnel; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including dried goods) for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 11, 2026 and a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce and related items due June 26, 2026; and the State of Georgia itself requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes for the Summer Food Service Program (Bid No. 609-26) due April 29, 2026. Dried corn appears as a component within these broader procurement vehicles rather than as a standalone line item, reflecting institutional food service's reliance on grain inputs bundled with other staples under consolidated purchasing agreements.
